Interpreting

Interpreting supports direct, human-to-human communication across languages. Unlike translation – which deals with written text – interpreting happens live. It requires linguistic fluency, cultural insight and concentration to accurately convey both meaning and tone.

There are several interpreting modes: simultaneous, where the interpreter speaks almost at the same time as the speaker; consecutive, where interpretation follows each segment of speech; and whispered or remote interpreting, which use technology to connect participants wherever they are. Interpreting is used in conferences, courtrooms, healthcare settings, business negotiations and digital environments such as video calls or webinars. Its success depends on clarity, impartiality and cultural understanding – ensuring every participant experiences the same information and intent.
